My Old Muse Has Buzzed Off
I have lost my old muse.
He's buzzed off, my brain's unused
He left without a bye your leave
With abundant poetry up his sleeve
I am old and in despair.
Without my muse, I'll get nowhere.
Has he left because he could see
I have no poetry left in me.
Perhaps my old muse is tired too.
Of trying to inspire me with something new
To write about with passion and fire
So I could obtain my heart's desire
To scribe a poem that has worth
To be read by many
When I leave this earth
Old girl and muse
I cannot see
A lasting poem for eternity
Never mind, my trusty friend
Keep buzzing around until my end.
